'Air Flown'

As opposed to what other kind of 'flown', exactly?

"Sebastian and I have our foie gras flown in by carpet twice weekly"..?

Cold Storage, Carrefour, all the rest of you: stop it.

There goes someone with waaaay to much time on their hands...

Although you do have a valid point. Perhaps some greener companies use carrier pigeon?

Is the company selling "AirPork" still around?

Are carrier pigeons green? I always assumed they were a kind of grey colour, but would admit to never having actually seen one

Oh, I'm a well-established pedant! The sight of the word 'forums' on the top menu causes me just a little bit of pain every time I see it. Although I reluctantly see the argument that 'forums' is apparently also acceptable in common usage.

That'd be the companies being green, not the pigeons BoD...

Ah..at last we no longer have use for Burbage

It's news to me that we ever had a use for Burbage...

It seem's to me that just about anything go's nowaday's.

I particularly like 'mice' as the plural for rodents, and 'mouses' as the plural for computer input devices.

You missed out an apostrophe on Device's, Rodent's and Mouse's

You're cruel. Keep your Grocers' apostrophes to yourselves.

(I really tried joining in there by typing 'your', but I just couldn't leave it like that.)

Ha, another one. Have been moaning about this for years (and have also been tempted to go round with a pen correcting like Lynn Truss).

My un-favourites include:

"Wellness clinic" WTF!

"conducive environment". Conducive to what?

Overhead at lunchtime today a guy on his mobile phone

"My wife and I are married"

Seems wise to clarify. Afterall, being married out of wedlock is a serious no no

They may be married but not to each other. Or something...
